fic: liminal spaces and secret keepers
R: t || WC: 1600 || tags: introspection, character study, bear ||
Summary: Bear wasn’t any worse for the wear in the years since Dan had packed him away. His weight wasn’t too much for Dan to carry. Even tied to Dan’s past, he wasn’t as heavy as Dan had imagined for years. He simply was.
And maybe that’s why Dan kept him after all. Maybe he didn’t need to forget; maybe he just needed to acknowledge that some things would always be there in some form, because you could not erase the past, but you could learn to live with it.
